7 PREFACE BY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL, ABRAHAM NWANKWO Under the Second Strategic Plan, , the DMO had set for itself the enviable goal of being among the emerging markets' top ten debt management offices in terms of best practices and contribution to national development. The strategic objectives aimed at achieving this goal were carefully crafted and implemented with the passion of a builder, who having designed a masterpiece, anxiously looked forward to completing it. Whereas, there are convincing evidence to show that public debt management has made giant strides and recorded significant milestones in terms of best practices, contribution to growth, development and poverty reduction, a lot more still needs to be done to reach the goal of being among the emerging markets' top ten debt management offices. In essence, while we achieved the mission in respect of some of the stated Strategic Objectives, we have concluded that we still have a lot of work to do in others, to enable us confidently belong to the desired league of emerging markets' top ten debt management offices. The Third Strategic Plan, , is therefore, designed to consolidate on the gains of the previous Plans, while diligently trying to deliver on the Strategic Objectives where we under-performed in the last five years, as well as, on new ones. The zeal to reach the bar much quicker was most apparent when all the members of staff of the DMO held a one-day retreat on November 21, 2012, to collectively agree on the Vision, Mission and Strategic Objectives for the next five years and the underlying activities required to implement the Strategic Objectives. These have been painstakingly arrived at, taking into account the constraints imposed by the DMO's operating environment. As we embark on another five-year journey, we shall continue to address our identified areas of weakness, as well as, rely on the cherished goodwill of all our stakeholders, particularly the Supervisory Board, chaired by His Excellency, Arc. Mohammed Namadi Sambo, GCON, Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While we appreciate that the goals we have set for ourselves are very challenging, we are inspired by the commitment to contribute outstandingly to the Government's Transformation Agenda. 1

8 Part One Introduction

9 Introduction The Debt Management Office (DMO) launched its Second Strategic Plan, , following the successful implementation of the First Strategic Plan, The Second Strategic Plan arose from the need to avoid a relapse of the country into debt unsustainability after the exit from the Paris and London Club of creditors and to develop the domestic bond market to meet the financing needs of governments and the private sector. The Vision, Mission and Objectives, as well as, the specific activities under the Strategic Plan, , were geared towards building on the achievements of the previous years and developing a forward looking framework for public debt management operations. In its effort to consolidate the gains of the previous plans and develop the Third Strategic Plan, , the Office held a one-day, all-staff Retreat on November 21, This was in line with the tradition of involving all cadre of staff in the development and review of all the Office's Strategic Plans since inception. The Retreat helped to identify all objectives that have been fully met under the Second Strategic Plan, the outstanding issues and the associated activities that needed to be carried forward. The output of the Retreat provided the basis for the Third Strategic Plan, The Report is in six parts, including this introductory part. Part 2 covers the review of the implementation of the Second Strategic Plan, This is followed by the rationale for the Third Strategic Plan, , in Part 3. Part 4 contains the Vision and Mission Statements, as well as, the Core Values of the Office. Part 5 presents the Broad Objective and Strategies required to achieve the stated objectives. The Plan Implementation and Departmental Responsibilities are contained in the schedule outlined in Part 6 of the Report. 2

10 Part Two Review of the Implementation of the Second Strategic Plan,

11 Review of the Implementation of the Second Strategic Plan, The Vision, Mission and Broad Objective of the Second Strategic Plan, were as follows: i. Vision Statement: To manage Nigeria's debt as an asset for growth, development and poverty reduction. ii. iii. Mission Statement: To rely on a well motivated, professional workforce and state-of-the-art technology, to be among the emerging markets' top ten Debt Management Offices, in terms of best practice and contribution to national development by the year Broad Objective: To ensure that National and Sub-national Governments subscribe to the principles of prudent and sustainable borrowing and effective utilization of resources, and to create a robust domestic debt market supportive of private sector development Strategic Objectives of the Second Strategic Plan, To establish and develop effective institutions and debt management capabilities at the sub-national level 2. To maintain a comprehensive, reliable and efficient national and sub-national debt database and to ensure prompt accurate settlement of debt service obligations. 3. To build a first-rate and internationally competitive bond market, not only to support government financing needs but also. provide the private sector access to long term financing in line with the Financial Sector Strategy (FSS 2020). 4. To develop innovative approaches for optimally accessing external finance. 5. To make Nigeria an exporter of debt management skills and major destination for out-sourced debt management services. 6. To build and maintain a well-motivated and professional workforce that will drive DMO's Strategic Objectives. 7. To implement all DMO commissioned ICT-based reports towards achieving DMO's Strategic Objective and Business continuity management plan Major Achievements in the Second Strategic Plan, The DMO made significant progress in the following areas under the Second Strategic Plan, : 3

12 Strategic Objective 1: To establish and develop effective institutions and debt management capabilities at the sub-national level i. The DMO, in conjunction with other stakeholders established Debt Management Departments (DMDs) in all the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and developed capacity for effective and efficient sub-national debt management through various forms of training workshops, attachments programmes for DMDs' staff and provisions of ICT Infrastructure.. ii. Debt Data Reconstruction (DDR) exercise were completed in all the 36 States of the Federation and the FCT. iii. Eighteen (18) States have passed either Public Debt Management or Fiscal Responsibility Laws to give legal backing to the operations of the DMDs in their respective States, while the remaining States are in various stages of passing the required legislations Strategic Objective 2: To maintain a comprehensive, reliable and efficient national and sub-national debt database and to ensure prompt accurate settlement of debt service obligations i. The national debt database is accurate and readily available on the DMOs website quarterly and semi-annually, and is also regularly disseminated through the print and other media. ii. The External Debt Stock and related Debt Service for States and the FCT are also published on a semi-annual basis on the DMO's website and annually in other publications. iii. Domestic debt data reconstruction of States was completed for the 36 States of the Federation and FCT Strategic Objective 3: To build a first-rate and internationally competitive bond market, not only to support government financing needs but also provide the private sector access to long term financing in line with the Financial Sector Strategy (FSS 2020) i. The DMO has been able to establish a well-rated FGN Bond Market, through various initiatives which has effectively helped to provide an alternative investment outlet for investors and attract foreign investments into the country. The FGN Bond Market now has a Sovereign Yield Curve extending from 3 months to 20 years and is serving as a reliable source of funding for the 4

13 governments and the private sector. ii. The inclusion of FGN Bonds in the widely recognised JP Morgan's Global Bond Index Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) on October 01, 2012, and the proposal by Barclays Capital to also include FGN Bonds in its Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Index (EM-LCBI) effective March 01, 2013, are authoritative validation of the quality and strength of the domestic bond market. iii. State Governments and corporates are now able to raise much needed long-term capital from the domestic bond market to fund developmental projects and the real sector. iv. Income from Bonds issued by Corporates, State Governments, Government Agencies and Supra-nationals are now tax exempt and the Central Bank of Nigeria has issued Guidelines that would grant liquid assets status to eligible State Government Bonds. In addition, SEC and the NSE have also reduced their fees. A Presidential approval for the reduction of Stamp Duties for reissues of Debentures and waivers of Capital Gains Tax have been obtained and the process of operationalising them has been initiated. v. Relevant stakeholders have revised their Rules and Guidelines to make the process for Bond Issuance clearer and more efficient (in the case of SEC and NSE) and to increase the investor demand for Bonds (PenCom). vi. There is now a more balanced domestic capital market, which has equity and bond components, unlike in the past when the capital market was dominated by the equities' market Strategic Objective 4: To develop innovative approaches for optimally accessing external finance i. Nigeria successfully made a debut in the International Capital Market (ICM) through the issuance of a 10-year 6.75% US$500 million Sovereign Eurobond in January, ii. A Report on Global Depository Notes (GDN) and proposal to borrow through syndicated GDN and the issuance of Diaspora Bonds in the ICM have been prepared for consideration by the fiscal authorities. iii. The DMO is currently preparing a Framework for the management of the contingent liabilities with respect to public-privatepartnership projects in the country. 5

14 Strategic Objective 5: To make Nigeria an exporter of debt management skills and major destination for out-sourced debt management services. i. Debt management personnel from Sudan and Zimbabwe visited the DMO on one week study tours and were taken through the rudiments of public debt management. ii. An in-house Train-the-Trainer programme has been instituted and is on-going. iii. A Department has been created to drive the process of establishing a Public Debt Management Institute (PDMI), and has since commenced activities. iv. The DMO has acquired land for its office complex: the building plan and engineering drawings have been approved by relevant authorities Strategic Objective 6: To build and maintain a well-motivated and professional workforce that will drive DMO's Strategic Objectives. i. Every member of staff of the DMO was exposed to appropriate regular and structured local and foreign trainings during the Plan period. ii. The two specialised Departments, Strategic Programmes Department (SPD) and Market Development Department (MDD), were created to actualize this objective and help implement some key aspects of the Plan. These have functioned effectively during the Plan period. Another specialised Group, Special Projects Group (SPG) was also created in 2011 to handle specific mandates. iii. Skill gaps were identified and filled through the recruitment of experienced personnel Strategic Objective 7: To implement all DMO commissioned ICT-based reports towards achieving DMO's Strategic Objectives and Business continuity management plan. i. The DMO's Share Point portal and were hosted. ii. The DMO's website was reviewed and content enhanced to make it more user-friendly. iii. The Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans have been implemented and are being reviewed. 6

15 2.3. Outstanding Challenges Meanwhile, a number of planned activities have not been fully accomplished and these include: i. The electronic upload of FGN securities auction data from the CBN into CS-DRMS is yet to be achieved because the required interface between the CBN's IT system and the CS-DRMS is still work in progress. ii. The plan to acquire an Automated Bond Auction System is yet to be realized due to budgetary constraints. iii. The linking of CS-DRMS to relevant MDAs has not been effected due to the fact that GIFMIS, the interface through which the link will be achieved, is still at the pilot stage. iv. The monitoring and recording of private sector external debt only commenced through the setting up of a Standing Committee made up of relevant stakeholders to actualize the initiative. v. The introduction of Securities Lending, Switches and Buybacks could not be effected due to the inability of the CBN's system to handle new products, especially with regard to Securities Lending which has been approved. The introduction of Bond Buybacks was deferred due to budgetary constraints, while the approval for Switches is still being awaited. The Guidelines, Procedure Manual and Tender Forms for Securities Lending and Swishes have been prepared. vi. The plan to build the DMO's Office Complex has not been realized due to lack of appropriation of the required funds by the Federal Government. vii. The passage of the DMO Amendment Act, which would have further enhanced the operational flexibility of the Office is still work-in-progress. 7

16 2.4 Mission Assessment Where are we in our mission to be among the emerging markets' Top Ten Debt Management Offices, in terms of best practice and contribution to national development by the year 2012? Strategic Objective 1 - To establish and develop effective institutions and debt management capabilities at the sub-national level. This objective has been fully achieved as debt management institutions have been established with requisite capabilities at the sub-national level. It could, therefore, be concluded that Nigeria's DMO is among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices in this regard. Strategic Objective 2 - To maintain a comprehensive, reliable and efficient national and sub-national debt database and to ensure prompt accurate settlement of debt service obligations. This objective has been fully achieved with the completion of domestic debt data reconstruction of States and the FCT. Nigeria's DMO could claim to be among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices in relation to this criterion. Strategic Objective 3 - To build a first-rate and internationally competitive bond market, not only to support government financing needs but also provide the private sector access to long term financing in line with the Financial Sector Strategy (FSS 2020). This objective has not been fully achieved. Although the FGN Bond market has gained international recognition with the inclusion of FGN Bonds in the internationally traded JP Morgan's Global Bond Index-Emerging Markets in October 2012 and proposed inclusion by Barclays Capital in its Emerging Markets-Local Currency Bond Index in March 2013, the planned introduction of Switches and Bond Buybacks into the bond market to further deepen it did not materialize due to delays in obtaining the required approvals and challenges with the IT system of the implementing agent (Securities Lending only). We consider these outstanding issues will need to be adequately addressed for Nigeria's DMO to move up into the group of top ten emerging markets' debt management offices. Strategic Objective 4 - To develop innovative approaches for optimally accessing external finance: This has not been fully achieved. Though there is sovereign benchmark in the ICM through the debut issuance of US$500 million 6.75% 10year Eurobond, the planned issuance of GDN and development of a framework to support PPP initiatives are yet to be implemented. Therefore, in this regard, 8

17 Nigeria's DMO could not be said to be among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices. Strategic Objective 5 - To make Nigeria an exporter of debt management skills and major destination for out-sourced debt management services. Although two countries have visited the DMO on study tours and the aggressive training of staff and subnational debt managers is being pursued, there is need for further skill development to increase expertise in several areas of public debt management operations. On this criterion, Nigeria's DMO would not qualify to be ranked among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices. Strategic Objective 6 - To build and maintain a well-motivated and professional workforce that will drive DMO's Strategic Objectives. This objective has not been achieved. Motivation is very low because the remuneration package does not reflect the specialised job which is as demanding as the most sophisticated private sector banking task. Accordingly, Nigeria's DMO is not among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices in this regard. Strategic Objective 7 - To implement all DMO's commissioned ICT-based reports towards achieving DMO's Strategic Objective and Business Continuity Management Plan. Since more needs to be done to create a seamless ICT-based platform, it could be concluded that Nigeria's DMO is not among the top ten emerging markets' debt management offices as far as this objective is concerned. Although the DMO has recorded significant milestones in its quest to be among the emerging markets' top ten debt management offices, it needs to effectively address outstanding issues and consolidate on the existing achievements in order to join the enviable rank of top ten emerging markets' debt management offices in terms of best practice. 9

18 2.5 SWOT Analysis In order to enhance the focus of the Third Strategic Plan, the major outcomes of the foregoing review have been summarized in the following SWOT Chart. SWOT Chart of the Office STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES THREATS Supervisory Board led by the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and consisting of the heads of fiscal, monetary, judicial, economic and accounting establishments in the. country Low staff morale: remuneration not commensurate with specialized skills required for the task assigned Rising local and international recognitions of effectiveness Budget constraints Stable management and purposeful leadership Not able to attract experts for highly specialized areas due to low remuneration Represented in key national policy making bodies, e.g. National Economic Management Team, Economic Management Implementation Team and other specialized committees Office space constraint adversely limits conduciveness of working environment; subsisting quit notice from landlord High level of support from local and external stakeholders Bureaucratic delays in the approval and introduction of specialized market development products Established domestic bond market needing more products and penetration Possible loss of few skilled personnel due to low remuneration. Possible competition from other financial products 10

19 Part Three Rationale for the Third Strategic Plan,

20 Rationale for the Third Strategic Plan, The expiration of the Second Strategic Plan, , coupled with the need to consolidate on the gains of the previous Plans, finalize on-going initiatives, explore new areas and maintain a steady focus on the delivery of the Office's mandates makes it necessary to articulate a new Plan for the next 5 years ( ). Accordingly, the Strategic Objectives of the Third Strategic Plan, , and associated activities are premised on the need to: i. Achieve a better balance between domestic and external debt components in the public debt stock. ii. Re-focus attention on cost-risk analysis and trade-offs and develop innovative means of borrowing at minimal cost and prudent level of risk. iii. Introduce innovative debt instruments that will have positive impact on the public debt stock and ensure its sustainability. iv. Sustain activities and execute new initiatives to further deepen the domestic bond market in order to ensure that it remains a reliable source of funding for all economic agents, and retain, as well as, enhance the recognitions received for the FGN Bond Market from international financial institutions. v. Introduce Liability Management tools to reduce bunching and refinancing risk in the domestic debt market. vi. Conclude the on-going programmes targeted at building debt management institutions and skills at the sub-national level and sustain the publication of reliable sub-national debt data. vii. Make effective, Government's policy of creating an enabling environment for the private sector to drive growth. viii. Complete on-going initiatives on capturing private sector external debt aimed at ascertaining the size and potential risk implications for the Government (if any), on a regular basis. ix.

23 Part Five Broad and Strategic Objectives of the Third Strategic Plan,

24 Broad and Strategic Objectives of the Third Strategic Plan, Broad Objective To ensure efficient public debt management in terms of a comprehensive, well diversified and sustainable portfolio, supportive of Government and private sector needs Strategic Objectives 1.

25 Part Six Plan Implementation

26 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION 6.1 Organizational Structure of the Office This part of the Third Strategic Plan addresses the appropriate organizational structure and framework that is needed to implement the Strategy Objectives. The old organizational structure has been streamlined to reflect the current stage of development of the Office and the need for greater synergy in various aspects of operations. For example, in the old organizational structure, Special Projects Group (SPG) and Public Debt Management Institute (PDMI) existed as separate non-departmental units, reporting directly to the Director-General for purpose of addressing specific issues. In addition, they were kept separate to avoid over burdening certain departments, that is, the Portfolio Management Department (PMD) and Strategic Programmes Department (SPD). However, given that those two departments (PMD and SPD) have sufficiently been able to develop effective command of their responsibilities in the last Plan, it has been considered that they can now have those hanging functions integrated into them. Therefore, the SPG dealing with issues relating to the Assets Management Corporation (AMCON) and the development of automated bonds auctioning platform have been re-integrated into the PMD. While institutionalized training focused on States and other third party public debt management bodies have been integrated into the SPD. The resulting organizational structure is presented below. 14
